Alterhego

What Alterhego does

ALTERHEGO is a Paris-based HR consulting firm founded in 2004 that specializes in the prevention of psychosocial risks (RPS) and the development of quality of life at work (QVT). The firm is led by Nicolas Magnant (Directeur) and Eric Berthet (Directeur Associé), with academic advisory from Anne-Marie Vonthron (Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at Université Paris-Nanterre, President of AIPTLF). It operates four interconnected service lines: psychosocial crisis intervention, RPS prevention and QVT development, managerial and collaborative practices development, and organizational transformation support. Underlying methods combine clinical psychology, work psychology, and organizational development — delivered through crisis cell deployment, diagnostic frameworks (qualitative + quantitative) feeding into DUERP formalization, managerial training in active listening and nonviolent communication, and structured co-development (CODEV) groups.

The firm employs approximately 20 professionals, predominantly clinical or work psychologists who also have prior corporate or consulting experience, and operates a nationwide network of specialized consultants enabling service delivery throughout France. Its go-to-market is sales-led, enterprise-focused direct consulting with multi-year contracts; pricing is custom per engagement and not publicly disclosed. The customer base of 60+ named references is enterprise-heavy and sector-diversified, including LVMH, Société Générale, Michelin, Air Liquide, Novartis, SNCF, Crédit Agricole, Bouygues Construction, Auchan, OVH, and Croix-Rouge, alongside SMEs and non-profits. Revenue is undisclosed, no outside funding has been raised, and the company is privately held with no parent or subsidiary structure. There is no software product, API, or AI/ML capability — the offering is human-intensive professional services.
